JurassicTale

JurassicTale V1.3.0 by AirBreaker Pictures

JurassicTale is a Hytale mod that plunges players into the prehistoric era. Inspired by the Jurassic Park universe and built in Hytale's BlockyModel visual style, it adds living dinosaurs, a full DNA-based cloning chain, a breeding system with growth cycles, and a fences system for enclosures.

• WARNING : Using melt mod can decrease the drop of fossil to something like 1% or less

 

Dinosaurs

Seven species roam the world: the T-Rex and Spinosaurus, two colossal predators with a lot of HP and damages each, the Velociraptor, fragile but dangerously fast and working in groups, the neutral and sturdy Triceratops, the flying Pteranodon, and the armored herbivore Stegosaurus.

Each dinosaur has its own set of animations (Idle, Walk, Run, Roar, Sleep, Swim, Fly) along with dedicated alert sounds. The raptors are staying in flocks and now feature improved running animations.

Carnivore dinosaurs can now chase and hunt other dinosaur species.
Players can also approach baby dinosaurs and herbivores by crouching.

 A word of warning: watch out for the Spinosaurus it has a bad habit of eating your phone.

All dinosaurs evolve through three growth stages -> Baby, Adolescent, Adult -> with approximately 5 hours and 12 hours of maturation between each stage. (You need to be near them, 32 chunk + - due of an hytale limitation)

 

The Cloning Chain

Fossils

The heart of the mod is a multi-step genetic pipeline. Find raw fossils by breaking Cracked Iron Basalt in the ground or in caves, but you can also break bone blocks with a reduced drop rate.

Fossils now come in three preservation qualities:

• Poor
• Standard
• Perfectly Preserved

These fossils (Skull, Leg, Ribs, Tail, Spine, Wing for the Pteranodon) are first cleaned in a Fossil Cleaner using specialized soap.

The cleaned fossils are then processed in the Fossil Flesh Extractor, which allows you to extract dinosaur flesh from the fossil. The quality of the fossil will determine the quantity obtained.

 

DNA Processing

After extracting flesh from fossils, you can craft Petri Dishes which are used in the Blood Collector machine.

The Blood Collector processes 15 pieces of dinosaur flesh to create a Petri dish filled with dinosaur blood.

This blood can then be analyzed in the Jurassic DNA Extractor to produce DNA fragments.
Three DNA fragments are required to create a complete sample but you also need to fill the hole in the dna.

So, the missing genetic sequence must be completed with Frog DNA, obtained by processing frog flesh wish petri dish in the Blood Collector.  You can obtain this frog flesh by killing frogs.

How to use the complete DNA

The Embryonic Machine need a complete DNA and a chicken egg to create a fertile egg, which the Jurassic Incubator finally hatches.

Simply hold the egg in your hand to bring your baby dinosaur into the world.

 

Amber system

By breaking Cracked Iron Basalt, you have a small chance to obtain Jurassic Amber Ore. Breaking Amber Ore gives you the amber item containing preserved prehistoric material.

Amber must be processed together with a Petri dish in the Amber Blood Extractor, which produces mosquito blood containing dinosaur DNA.

This mosquito blood can then be analyzed in the Jurassic DNA Extractor to directly obtain a complete dinosaur DNA sample.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Enclosure System

Create your enclosures with different fences of varying levels. These barriers range from level 0 to 4.

Note: Visibility when placing barriers can be difficult. I recommend changing your view and activating the construction preview.

• New enclosure mechanism:
  • Dinosaurs can now break certain barriers if they do not match their level of danger. 
  • For example, a spinosaurus can break barriers that a triceratops cannot, and a teenage Trex will not have the same level of danger as an adult Trex. 
  • A velociraptor is intelligent; if the level is not adequate, it will break all barriers if it wishes, whereas a Trex/spinosaurus will break a barrier of the level just below its own level only in the event of a chase, but will break lower levels for no specific reason.
  • New building elements are also available for enclosure construction including fence doors, fence sections with door openings, and aviary grid blocks designed for flying dinosaur enclosures. (barriers with doors or doors hole cannot be broken by your dinosaurs)

Dino             | Baby       | Teen                                   | Adult
--------------+-----------+-----------------------------+-----------------------------
Spinosaurus   | No break  | Breaks lvl0-1 (hunt only)   | Breaks lvl0-3 (not lvl4+)

T-Rex              | No break  | Breaks lvl0-1 (hunt only)   | Breaks lvl0-3 (not lvl4+)

Velociraptor   | No break  | Breaks lvl0-2                      | Breaks lvl0-2

Triceratops     | No break  | Breaks lvl0                          | Breaks lvl0

Stegosaurus   | No break  | Breaks lvl1                          | Breaks lvl1

Equipment

The Jurassic laboratory now includes multiple specialized machines used for fossil processing, blood extraction and DNA analysis.

Laboratory machines include:

• Fossil Cleaner
• Fossil Flesh Extractor
• Blood Collector
• Jurassic DNA Extractor
• DNA Combinator
• Amber Blood Extractor
• Embryonic Machine
• Jurassic Incubator

All machines are craftable through a progression of advanced industrial components: Electric Motor, Jurassic Gear, Jurassic Iron Bar, Electronic Circuit, Advanced Electronic Circuit, Screen, Cleaning Propeller and other laboratory components.

Everything is crafted using the Jurassic Bench, which now features three upgrade tiers that unlock additional machines and crafting options.

 

Decoratives Elements

• Decorative dinosaur figurine
• JurassicTale logo and paint decorations
• JurassicTale clothing items

 

Coming Soon

• More dino
• Expanded in game documentation
• Different tiers for machines
• ???

 

Allready here in a temporary phase :

• Jurassic Amber : blocks minable in the world (Currently drop the amber ore by breaking Cracked Iron Basalt)
• Real Jurassic Fossil : blocks minable in the world and caves. ( Currently drop by breaking Cracked Iron Basalt)

 

Compatibility

Solo and multiplayer, compatible with all versions of Hytale.
